Sir Rex Hunt died today. He was the former governor of the Falkland Islands who wore his feathered hat, and the rest of his 'full fig' uniform to meet with the officer commanding the invasion. He declined to shake hands.

English border morris sides wear top hats adorned with pheasant feathers and flowers - though they are all revival sides, the tradition died out, and just what feathers were actually worn is uncertain - they are not described in the written accounts of the kit the old sides wore.
